[R] build rpvm under cygwin

[Lars Schouw]

I tried ot build rpvm in my own makefile.
But runs into some linker errors like e.g.
undefined reference to `_R_alloc'

My enviornment looks like this:
CYGWIN
pvm 3.4 compiled under cygwin myself
R installed from the rw2001.exe setup file.

I guess that the R under rw2001.exe was build with
some other compiler?


I then tried to compile R myself under CYGWIN but runs
into the following problem:
building from src typing make
gcc -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include 
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CON
FIG_H -D__NO_MATH_INLINES  -g -O2 -c dynload.c -o
dynload.o
In file included from dynload.c:35:
../../src/include/Defn.h:60:22: psignal.h: No such
file or directory

I found the psignal.h header file under
gnuwin32/fixed/h/psignal.h how do incoperate this
udner cygwin?

I also tried to type build under src/gnuwin32 but get
another error:

$ make
make: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found
make[1]: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found
make --no-print-directory -C front-ends Rpwd
make -C ../../include -f Makefile.win version
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `version'.
make Rpwd.exe
gcc  -O2 -Wall -pedantic -I../../include  -c rpwd.c -o
rpwd.o
rpwd.c:22:20: direct.h: No such file or directory
rpwd.c: In function `main':
rpwd.c:38: warning: implicit declaration of function
`chdir'
rpwd.c:41: warning: implicit declaration of function
`getcwd'
make[3]: *** [rpwd.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Rpwd] Error 2
make[1]: *** [front-ends/Rpwd.exe] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


Ideas would be appreciated.
